September Julep Review
Enter my Birchbox Head of Class Giveaway!
I can't believe I didn't get to Julep earlier this month! It's the first box I get each month and this month they did a brand overhaul. I ordered some add-ons this month so check out all my choices from the September Julep Cityscape collection!
Type: Nail Box
Cost: $19.99/month includes shipping
What is it?: Becoming a Julep Maven gives you access to all their products for 20% off as well as being part of their rewards program which earns you FREE boxes and products. To begin, you take a style quiz to determine you Julep Maven Style and your first box will be a welcome box. Each month you are sent the month's theme colors and products in the 4 beauty profiles and have the option to choose your assigned box or any other one available. You also have the option to skip any month- this may be the BEST feature at Julep. Julep also offers add-ons each month for extremely discounted rates as well as random/surprise bags/boxes all the time. Fun fact: Julep's full collection was one of Oprah's favorite things this past year.

Lots of pics at once- just the quote card this month- first peek at new packaging!
I LOVE that my add-ons were included in the same box this month! A great change for Julep. It's so nice to get everything at once!
New packaging- I admit, it's very chic.
September's collection was strangely not my favorite (strange since I ended up getting 5 of the collection's polishes)- I ended up going with my profile: Bombshell.
Daria: I don't have anything like this grey creme so I figured- why not?! I think it'll be a fun Fall color... for when fall comes to Texas! Price: $14
Karmen: I thought Karmen looked fun during selection time and very Fall-y. It's more orange than crimson/red than it looked online but I do still like the gold in it a lot so I'm happy. Price: $14
One Step Remover Pad: I echo the rest of the Julep subscribers when I say "Booo" to this extra! I know it's an "extra" aka not what you are paying for but they are usually fun or really useful. It's either something yummy like candy or a beauty product... that can be used more than once. I've gotten these before in a box but I got like 10 not just 1. They ARE good products- like I've said I've used them before- but one is just kind of sad. Price: $1
Bare Face Cleansing Oil: I wasn't excited for this beauty product at all. I just couldn't resist trying it- since you never know. Turns out, I love it! It's great for when I don't have the time or patience to really scrub my face at night and it totally takes off my foundation! And no, it does NOT make your skin oily. An A for Julep. Price: $28
Add-ons
Btw- don't you think they look alright as a set?...
Kristy: I was torn between all the boxes this month with nothing super pulling me which is why I added on so many extras. This dark blue from Boho Glam looked great in pics with an awesome glossy finish. This will be a perfect Fall AND Winter polish. Price: $14
Florence: My one Classic with a Twist polish this month. I realized a couple months ago that I severely lack in nudes and lighter shades in my collection- it's all brights or deep dark colors. I've been trying to get more variety- thus the purchase of Florence. Price: $14
Tatiana: Another selection from Boho Glam. October (& Halloween) are a month away but I couldn't resist getting this orange glitter polish. It's great for Autumn but it'll rock for Halloween. Price: $14
Verdict: For the $20 box itself I got $57 in products so definitely a good supply. I had fun with add-ons this month too so I am well stocked on new nail polish! The polishes will be great for Fall (again, when it is actually under 90 in Texas) and I found a friend in the cleansing oil! Not my favorite box of all time but definitely a quality box.

I'm obsessed with this cleanser, I absolutely love it. Glad I'm not the only one!
ReplyDeleteThe cleanser is awesome! I'm so glad I didn't skip this month. I picked bombshell too. Daria isn't my favorite ever, but I love Karmin. Definitely worth the price of the box, for sure.
